Tom

Be careful: Tom is currently bugged. He will rest for 2 hours instead of 2 minutes if you decline all his offers. The bug won't be fixed it until the next major update. Make sure to ask for something you really want in the meantime.

Frequency

If the player accepts any of the offers, Tom fetches the items in a few seconds. When he comes back he grows tired and falls asleep for two hours. If the player declines all offers, Tom only has to rest for two minutes before being able to search again (currently bugged; see top of page).

Discounts

Occasionally Tom is seen holding a balloon with a percent sign written on it. While holding this balloon he offers a ten percent discount for the five- and ten-day fees.

Tom releases the balloon after 10 minutes or so, at which point he no longer offers the discount. However, as the balloon floats away, players can tap it to receive coins, diamonds, experience points or supplies.

Strategy tips

Standing at the very bottom of the screen, it might be hard to notice when Tom is ready for another job. You can solve this by sowing one field with indigo when you have accepted one of Tom's offers. Indigo takes two hours to get ready to be harvested; If the indigo is ready, so is Tom.

When Tom is unlocked you can use him to buy land-clearing supplies as these are hard to find and you need the room at this point. Alternatively, you can send him to fetch the most expensive item you have unlocked in order to get coins more easily.
